Five Degrees?

The concept that we are all only six steps away from any other person on earth was shown to be surprisingly true, if slightly overstated, last night.

Whilst not wanting to make light of a tragic occurance, you may have seen in the press recently that a Zimbabwean tourist was taken by a shark, assumed to be a great white, off Cape Town just a few days ago.

On the way to last night's hill session, Stewart Westhead (1 step) told me that his daughter (2 steps) heard from her distraught neighbour (3 steps) that her mother's (4 steps) boyfriend (5 steps) was that guy!

It really is a small world.
